Botica

If you like surprises, head to this bar run by mixologists Tai Barbin and Alex Miranda and chef Manu Zappa. Every week, they launch a new menu, always with delicious surprises. The highlight, though, is the small menu with classics and house specials. Start with octopus with chickpeas (R$36) or cold eggs (R$9). Next, try the stuffed squid with roasted sauce (R$54). The chopp (R$10) is well pulled, and the cocktail menu is worth exploring. Try the "Sangue de Boi" (R$30) with Calvados, gin, grenadine, and lemon, or the "Senta Que Eu Empurro" (R$30) with gin, Cynar, apple syrup, and lemon.
